5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Height Adjustment

  • Raise Desk: Press and hold the Up Arrow (^) button on the control panel. The desk will move upwards. Release the button at your desired height.
  • Lower Desk: Press and hold the Down Arrow (v) button on the control panel. The desk will move downwards. Release the button at your desired height.

5.2 Setting Memory Presets

The control panel allows you to save up to four preferred height settings.

  1. Adjust the desk to your desired height using the Up/Down arrows.
  2. Press the 'M' button (or similar memory set button, if present, otherwise proceed to step 3).
  3. Immediately press one of the numbered preset buttons (1, 2, 3, or 4). The display will show 'S-' followed by the number, indicating the height has been saved.

5.3 Using Memory Presets

To move the desk to a saved height, simply press the corresponding numbered preset button (1, 2, 3, or 4). The desk will automatically adjust to the saved position.

6. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the desktop and frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  • Cable Management: Regularly check and organize cables to prevent tangles and damage.
  • Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Tighten if necessary.
  • Motor Care: The electric motor is designed for long-term use. Avoid continuous operation for extended periods without rest.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Desk Not Moving:
    • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the desk and the wall outlet.
    • Ensure no objects are obstructing the desk's movement.
    • Try power cycling the desk: unplug it for 10 seconds, then plug it back in.
  • Uneven Movement / One Leg Not Adjusting:
    • This can sometimes occur due to an imbalance in the lifting columns. Perform a reset procedure: Press and hold the 'Down' button until the desk reaches its lowest point and then slightly rises and stops. This usually recalibrates the system.
    • Check the transmission rod connection between the motor and the legs for any dislodgement or damage.
  • Error Codes on Display:
    • Refer to the specific error code in the full product manual (if available) or contact customer support. Often, power cycling or a reset procedure can resolve temporary error codes.
  • Excessive Noise During Operation:
    • Ensure all assembly screws are tightened.
    • Check for any objects caught in the lifting mechanism.

If you encounter persistent issues, please contact SANODESK customer support for assistance.
